Motor learning and performance : a situation-based learning approach / Richard A. Schmidt, Craig A. Wrisberg.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 369-384) and index.

-- Getting started -- Processing information and making decisions -- Sensory contributions to skilled performance -- Movement production and motor programs -- Principles of motor control and movement accuracy -- Individual differences and motor abilities -- Preparing for the learning experience -- Supplementing the learning experience -- Structuring the learning experience -- Providing feedback during the learning experience -- Facilitating learning and performance -- Applying the principles of skill learning.

"The student-friendly fourth edition of Motor Learning and Performance: A Situation-Based Learning Approach does more than simply present the latest research. Instead, Schmidt and Wrisberg challenge students not only to grasp but also to apply the concepts of motor performance and learning via a unique situation-based approach. Movement practitioners using a situation-based learning approach continually ask three basic questions: who (the person learning or performing), where (the context for learning or performing), and what (the task being learned or performed). By working through the situation-based exercises, discussion problems, and case studies, students learn how to ask appropriate questions, identify solutions, and support their answers with theory or research."

"Motor Learning and Performance: A Situation-Based Learning Approach outlines the principles of motor skill learning, develops a conceptual model of motor performance, and shows students how to apply the concepts of motor learning and performance to a variety of real-world settings. This fourth edition includes access to an online student study guide with lab activities that bring the material to life."--Jacket.
